How to build the form in other language.

You can create the form in any language as you desired, use the same following steps for creating a new form, give a correct name to a new form, so you can identify it afterwards. It is important to set the correct language of the form when creating. To change the language later, go on the form list and click "Edit": you can change the name, description and the language. All the labels and placeholders can be edited, so you can write whatever text you want.

You can change the name of the field by putting the mouse over, you will see the pencil click on that and there are you will find to line where you have to change the name of the field on the desired language. If you do not want that inside of the field any text or the name of the field is appearing cancel all text inside of this field and close the window. To continue farther, please follow the same steps describe above.

By default, the entire admin part is translated in English, French and German, so that if you use one on these languages, the address fields are already translated. The list of countries is translated in most of the languages, so that is not necessary to translate yourself. For translating error messages, you need to go to Client Admin > Translations. You can use there your own translations. All the texts related to the forms can be found clicking the link "Forms"

To allow only a short list of languages or countries in the forms (for example you support 2 languages and you want that the users choose one of them when registering) you can define the allowed countries or allowed languages by going in Settings > General > Language

How to set up the form to be responsive for all devices.

The created forms use responsive design. The form will update automatically to every device. The setting of the form width by default when creating a new form fits in most of the cases.

If you need more detailed settings for different devices, like for example to display a form in 4 columns on desktop and in 2 columns on a mobile, on the design page of the forms there is a button "Advanced edit" for editing formats for different devices. After making the changes and click the button update and chose preview for seeing how you form will look like in a new opening window.

How to connect the forms with the CRM system.

On the setting page of the forms, which is the next step after the design page, you can choose if you want that the form is writing in the CRM, to add new clients in the CRM. You can add clients as registered or unregistered. Registered means they have login and password and they can login into the client admin (which is also included in the free package).

It is strongly recommended that each form assigns a group to the clients that fill the form. This in order to be able to select after clients based on the form they filled in. To create groups, go on CRM > Groups and create groups by adding a new group. The groups have a tree structure. To add a subgroup, click on a group or subgroup in the tree and you will see the button to add subgroup.

To make the form assign a group, on the settings page, in the bottom there is a section "Processes". You can choose what is triggering - it can be the whole form (everybody who filled the form) or depending on a specific answer: all possible answers from radio input, checkboxes or select boxes are there. The recommendation is to assign a group for the whole form even if you assign also specific groups based on answers.
Then choose the process, which in this case is "Assign group" and then click the group that you want to assign.

VIDEO: HOW TO ASSIGN THE GROUP TO A FORM

In the CRM it is possible to select by groups including subgroups.

Example, if you have 2 websites website 1 and website 2, each of them having more forms, then a good practice is to create two main groups: "website-1" and "website-2". For each form of the website, create subgroups in the group tree. Ex.: "contact-form" and "registration" each of them under the corresponding main group. When you assign the group to the form, assign only one subgroup. For example, to the contact form on the website 1 assign only the subgroup "contact-form" which is subgroup of "website-1". Then in the CRM you can select for this subgroup finding who was filling this form, but you can also select for "website-1" to find all clients that filled any form on website 1.

After submitting, the form can redirect to an URL or use a text that you can write in an editor. For most of the cases, you need just to create a text that is displayed after submitting, something like "Thank you for contacting us".

It is possible to use the form as iframe or embedded code - iframe is recommended for good work with WordPress.

It is possible to set up the width and height of the iframe. The best is to let those fields empty. In that case, the iframe will be responsive and will adapt to the page where it is added.

Adding the form to a post, page or widget

On every post or page edit, there is a button "Add form" to add one of the forms that you have in your account. Just click the button and choose which form should appear.

In the widgets page, choose the "Free forms & CRM" widget and put it where you want to be displayed (this depends if the theme accepts widgets). The settings are also very simple; you have just a select box from where you can choose which form should be displayed.
For all of this you need to be logged in the CRM in order to see the list of the forms. If you are not logged in, you will see a notice box to login, containing also a button to login.
